“A CHILDLIKE FAITH” Matthew 18:1-5 NLT

 

Matthew 18:1-5 NLT 1. “About that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven?” 2. “Jesus called a little child to him and put the child among them. 3. Then he said, “I tell you the truth, unless you turn from your sins and become like little children, you will never get into the Kingdom of Heaven. 4. So anyone who becomes as humble as this little child is the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. 5. “And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me.”

 

A CHILDLIKE FAITH  - Matthew 18:1-5 NLT

 

A childlike faith makes you greater,

As your trust is placed in God's word,

While greeting and loving one another,

You'll be welcoming the Lord.

 

Share the lesson of this truth,

The Lord placed a child among us,

Humble, innocent and full of youth,

As a constant reminder of His trust.

 

Be dependent on the Lord's way,

For the sake of the young and aged,

When we live humbly everyday,

Childlike goodness is made.

 

God's word is forever true,

And calls for the repentance of sin,

And like a child be pure and new,

In both your life and mind therein.

 

Treasure His guidance completely,

It's a powerful pursuit indeed,

Like a child shadow God meekly,

Carrying love for all to see.

  Poem of the Week by Marcia 9/24/2021   “ONE WHO SERVES” Reflection on 1 Samuel 16:7 “But the Lord said to Samuel, do not consider his appearance or his height for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at things people look at; people look at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart.” And on , Luke 22:27 “For who is greater, the one who is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at the table? But I am among you as the one who serves.”   “ ONE WHO SERVES”   Each En-Gedi God creates, Where a servant is assigned, Is to exemplify integrity, And bring unity to mankind.   To pray for those that serve, Is a joy and privilege, For the nature of a call, Is to love and encourage.   For together we are stronger, And together we are one, For God loves His people, And leads us through His Son.   Where we learn His holy word, And receive His Spirit's peace, We are sealed by His blood, Where fear and worry

  Marcia's Poem of the Week Reflecting on Genesis 45:4, 5, & 9-11 “GOD WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU” Forgiveness is really difficult. But holding an unforgiving spirit can make one sick. This story was one of the best stories for me to understand that God shows us how forgiveness works. Joseph could have been angry with his brothers and with God. And who could blame him. How many times have you been angry with God or someone else? Joseph was able to see that God's work took time. You can be sure that when you are hurting God is working to make things right. Talk to God, be patient, wait and watch Him work. God will take care of you.  In Genesis 45 we can read how God took care of Joseph and his family. Genesis 45: 4 “Please, come closer,” he said to them. So they came closer. And he said again, “I am Joseph, your brother, whom you sold into slavery in Egypt. 5. But don’t be upset, and don’t be angry with yourselves for selling me to this place. It was God who sent me here a
